The best eunuch

Chapter 74 Leading the Army to Defend Bianjing)

Gao Qiu's "first victory" reassured Zhao Ji instantly.In the past two days, Zhao Ji has been thinking about how to reward Gao Qiu, and at the same time, he is also considering the matter of the Royal Bank that Liang Xin proposed to him.

It's just that there is an eternal truth in the world, paper can never contain fire.Soon Gao Lian's second letter of [-] miles was urgently sent to the Bianjing Palace. It was an apology form.The content probably said that Gao Qiu took advantage of his first victory to wipe out the Shandong rebels in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect to fall into the trick of the rebels to lure the enemy deep.Although Gao Qiu killed more than a thousand enemy soldiers and suffered eight serious injuries, he was defeated in the end.

Seeing that letter, Zhao Ji was so frightened that he was almost not on the throne and slipped under the table.

Seeing Zhao Ji's pale face, Liang Xin hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Zhao Ji looked up at Liang Xin, then reached out and handed Gao Qiu's apology form to him.After Liang Xin saw it, he sneered. He had already guessed that Gao Lian would play such a trick.

First came a first victory to cover up the incompetence of his third army horse, and then came a trick to replace the charge of coach incompetence with the coach's misjudgment of the battle situation.In addition, Gao Qiu is Zhao Ji's confidant, and at the same time he was seriously injured.Perhaps when he returns to Bianjing after the war, Zhao Ji will not only punish him for his crimes, but will reward him more.

However, how Zhao Ji will deal with Gao Qiu is another story. The most urgent thing is how the Shandong rebels are coming.We will arrive in Xi'an soon.When we arrived in Xi'an, Bianjing was in jeopardy.

Zhao Ji sighed, "Time doesn't wait for me." He raised his head and asked Liang Xin, "Liang Xin. The Shandong rebels are coming in menacingly now, what countermeasures do you have?"

Liang Xin looked at Zhao Ji with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I have only two options."

"Two ways?" Zhao Ji was overjoyed, he didn't think of any way, but he didn't expect Liang Xin to have two ways.Sometimes he really felt that Liang Xin was given to him by God to solve problems for him. "Tell me, what are the two methods?"

Liang Xingong cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty. The two methods of my minister are conservative and aggressive. At present, there are still four armies in Bianjing, including Pengri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei, which add up to nearly 20 troops. 20 people, we can choose to move south to Jiangnan for temporary shelter. Second, we can assign generals to lead the 20 people to fight the Shandong rebels to the death!"

"Going south to Jiangnan and abandoning Bianjing?" Zhao Ji shook his head: "This is not possible. Bianjing is the foundation of the ancestors, how can it fall into the hands of those rebellious people. Let the Fourth Army fight to the death with the rebels?"

Zhao Ji pondered for a while, and murmured: "It's too risky. Gao Qi's 20 people were defeated by the rebels in less than ten days. If the Fourth Army is defeated again..."

Seeing Zhao Ji's hesitation, Liang Xin fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the army to fight."

"Are you leading the army?" Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not a trifling matter with military aircraft. You have never been in contact with the military. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to go into battle rashly?"

Liang Xin was secretly disdainful.That guy Gao Qiu can lead troops to go out, so am I worse than Gao Qiu?Liang Xin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty! At present, most of the ministers in Bianjing are civil servants, and none of them have ever been in charge of the army. There is only one Dingguo who was born in the army, but I remember that he should be approaching his age. Eighty?

Although humble ministers seldom command soldiers.But at least he is still leading the iron cavalry of Xichang. If the emperor believes in the humble minister, the minister is willing to take Xiangshang's head as a guarantee to defeat the enemy army and keep Bianjing safe. "

"This..." Zhao Ji was in a dilemma.He thought about it carefully, and finally had to admit that there were indeed no generals in Bianjing.This is also impossible.All dynasties of the Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, so how could mere military generals enter such a confidential place as Bianjing.

After thinking about it.Zhao Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, he made a decision: "Liang Xin. I trust you just once. I allow you to lead the Tianwu and Longwei armies with [-] troops. If anything happens to you ...I will go south to the south of the Yangtze River with the two armies of Pengri and Shenwei to take refuge temporarily."

One hundred thousand troops?Liang Xin was dumbfounded for a moment, and he shouted in his heart: "Hey, old Zhao, you are not playing cards according to the routine. Didn't you say 20 to 20? How do you play 20 to [-]?"

But after thinking about it, Liang Xin also felt that according to Zhao Ji's character, he should make such an arrangement.On the one hand, he was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have thrown the throne to Zhao Huan and fled by himself when the Jin people attacked in history.On the other hand, he is a good young man. Don't you see that the Northern Song Dynasty's finances were so difficult, but whenever the envoys of small countries came to visit, Zhao Ji would definitely reward them with a lot of money.

Liang Xin nodded.It is better to give [-] soldiers and horses than not to give them at all, and they are still capable of fighting.He kowtowed his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will lead the decree. If I am still here, then Bianjing City is here. If I am dead, then I will do my best to guard Bianjing City."

Zhao Ji was greatly moved, nodded immediately and said: "Liang Xin. This time I entrusted all of my wealth and life to you, you must not let me down."

finished.Zhao Ji stood up and said solemnly: "Loyalty Marquis Liang Xin listens to the decree."

"The humble minister is here!" Liang Xin knelt down and listened to the order.

Zhao Ji said: "I appointed you as the Great General of Rebellion, and gave you the Tiger Talisman to temporarily lead the Tianwu and Longwei armies. You must defeat the thieves and wipe out the thieves for me!"

"Yes! The minister leads the decree. The minister is determined to defeat the thieves and wipe out the thieves' leaders." Liang Xin kowtowed to receive the decree, and Zhao Ji took out a tiger charm from the wooden box on the table and handed it to Liang Xin.

The Tiger Talisman is the credential of the leader.The Upper Fourth Army has always had only a command but not a commander, because they only obeyed orders from the emperor.Unless they see the leader's tiger talisman, no one can order them to move.

Soldiers are expensive and fast.Liang Xin took the tiger talisman and left the palace.Instead of going to the barracks where the Fourth Army was located, he first went to Xichang to gather the Xichang cavalry and the Xichang dark hall.

The 500 cavalry from the West Factory and the [-] people who had just trained in the dark hall followed Liang Xin under the leadership of Lin Chong and Yin Jianglin respectively.Liang Xin used all the strength of Xichang, which was a gesture of really going out to fight to the death.

Two thousand elite cavalry troops with luxurious equipment and five hundred black-clothed men in the dark hall rushed all the way from Xichang to the barracks of the Shangsi Army.The common people around felt that the atmosphere was a little tense when they saw it.

When they came to the entrance of the Fourth Army barracks, the two teams of soldiers guarding the gate shouted loudly: "Who is coming, the front is the barracks of the Fourth Army, if you break in, you will be killed."

Liang Xin took out the Tiger Talisman from his pocket and said loudly: "Feng Shengzhi, the Tianwu and Longwei armies will assemble immediately. Hurry up and go out to Beijing with this general to fight against the rebels."

The soldiers guarding the gate didn't dare to be negligent when they saw the Liang Salary Tiger Talisman in their hands, and immediately saluted with fists together: "General, please wait a moment, the subordinates will go down and ask the commander of the palm print."

Tianwu and Longwei have a total of 10 people.There are more than fifty commanders respectively.Most of the command envoys will be under the jurisdiction of a thousand soldiers, and some command envoys are specifically in charge of logistics.For example, food, weapons and armor, horse feed, or tiger charms.

Not for a while.Two men in fine cotton armor came out.The man first knelt down on one knee and saluted Liang Xin: "Subordinate Wei Yang, Zhao Xing. To join the general, please present the tiger amulet for the subordinate to verify."

Liang Xin handed over the Tiger Talisman.The tiger talisman overlapped with the half of the tiger talisman in Weiyang Zhao Xing's hand.After verifying that it was correct, Wei Yang and Zhao Xing said: "The general has something to tell you."

Liang Xin glanced at Lin Chong.He has never been in charge of the army, so he doesn't know what to do now.Lin Chong instantly understood Liang Xin's meaning, took a step forward and said to Wei Yang and Zhao Xing, "Let's get together immediately and let the food room and armory room be ready. The food and weapons are ready, we will set off immediately."

"Yes!" Wei Yang and Zhao Xing immediately took orders to retreat.

Liang Xin walked into the playground with his soldiers and horses.The drums were beating, and soon the commanders and envoys of the two armies took their subordinates to the playground to assemble.

If you only look at the reaction speed, weapons and equipment of the assembly, and the queue.Liang Xin would believe that these people in front of him were elite soldiers.

But in fact, Liang Xin is very clear.Although the Upper Fourth Army is tall and powerful, it is completely a group of young soldiers.They are from a good family, and they have not participated in wars for generations. They have almost never seen blood since they were soldiers.

There are too many things that such soldiers cannot encounter on the battlefield.Liang Xin was not very sure about the outcome of this battle, and wanted to fight back.He was very disturbed.
